«Child Labour»

Children see beauty in everything.

(Think Great: Be Great!)

Lailah Gifty Akita

Children are gifts. They are not ours for the breaking. They are ours for the making.

(Single Dad Laughing)

Dan Pearce

Children want the same things we want.

To laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained, and delighted.

Dr. Seuss

Every child should have time for arts, music, sports, drama, robotics, school newspapers and the like, not to mention recess and play.

Chris Gabrieli

Child labor and poverty are inevitably bound together and if you continue to use the labor of children as the treatment for the social disease of poverty, you will have both poverty and child labor to the end of time.

Grace Abbott

I believe that it should be the blessing of every child to be born into a home where that child is welcomed, nurtured, loved, and blessed with parents, a father and a mother, who live with loyalty to one another and to their children.

Gordon B. Hinckley

Children, after all, are not just adults-in-the-making. They are people whose current needs and rights and experiences must be taken seriously.

Alfie Kohn

...180 million kids are engaged in the worst forms of child labour. Put it all together and it is not only morally unacceptable, but politically dangerous.

Juan Somavia

The first and continuing argument for the curtailment of working hours and the raising of the minimum age was that education was necessary in a democracy and working children could not attend school.

Grace Abbott

Children are the greatest blessing from God.

(Think Great: Be Great!)

Lailah Gifty Akita

The miracle of children is that we just don’t know how they will change or who they will become.

(Smart Parenting for Smart Kids: Nurturing Your Child’s True Potential)

Eileen Kennedy-Moore

In the past, children were all too often viewed more as property than people. Many victories for children’s rights have been won in the last 100 years, such as child labor laws, protecting children from having to work long hours in unsafe conditions; public education, allowing all children to have access to learning; and laws preventing child abuse. But there is still much to do in protecting children’s rights around the world.

Robert Alan Silverstein

Children do not constitute anyone’s property: they are neither the property of their parents nor even of society. They belong only to their own future freedom.

Mikhail Bakunin

What’s done to children, they will do to society.

Karl Menninger
